I love the great outdoors … from inside. Not one for great explorations of mountains and that kinda thing. Going out camping is not my thing. Even my idea of a holiday is going to visit my brother … in Milton Keynes. (That’s hardly a trip to somewhere exotic … not far either.) I love […]
Read More When It’s Not Good To Stay InsideFor quite a number of years, I was in an environment where for all the noise decrying the state of affairs nothing was done about it. It was not unusual for the state of not doing anything was seen as a virtue. You weren’t being a troublemaker. You were not getting mixed up in messy […]
Read More When Accepting The Way Things Are Is No Longer An OptionIt’s interesting reading of the troubles of folks in scripture. Take Joseph. If you’re in the middle of those challenges. In the pit. In the prison. The troubles were not taken away. They appeared to be indicators. It’s a word of comfort for those in the struggle. Troubles and the struggle might be an indicator. […]

Recently I sat in on a conversation a few folks were having about Paul in the Bible. They were talking of the paternal care he displayed for the churches, […]

Read More CD Songs: Give Me You by The WinansHappy Days. Loved that programme. Theme tune was on the button. True story: for years I thought it was genuinely made in the era it reflects. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More The Problem With The Fonzie SyndromeWe make mistakes and when we make them the chorus we refer to is ‘we’re only human’. To be human is to err, so we’re told. What I certainly don’t want to suggest is that we should beat ourselves up every time something goes wrong and we could have done something different about it. I […]
Read More Devaluing HumanityI have never been to Aberdeen before. Apparently it’s a place in Scotland. I only know of them because of their football team. I think they have something to do with North Sea oil. Beyond that I admit virtual ignorance of the place. Sure Google could help, but sometimes it’s good to get the personal […]
